I too love what I'm hearing about these DBs. But before we all start going crazy keep this in mind: They aren't in pads. And they aren't going against starters. They're going against mostly practice squaders unless this alpin guy is the next Kurt Warner and these WRs are the next welker's and Cruz's.

You have a point that they arent going against NFL talent. However, Im sure there was more than one time through the rookie camp where Haslett and/or Raheem thought to themselves that they were dealing with safeties that are better than what we had last year.

I believe its pretty easy to say that we upgraded the secondary, even without having seen them in full action yet.

ehhhh, i think that was the majority opinion last year with jackson and merriweather........jus sayin. I believe most of our starters will stay the same, just a year older. We have not signed ANYONE that is a definite upgrade, or even a definite starter over what we already had.

Again, jus sayin.

Did you keep a straight face as you typed that?

Merriwether proved to be better by a large margin in only 1 half of playing football. Jackson is better than either Madieu Williams or Reed Doughty playing with a blunt in one hand. Thats the problem, the NFL doesnt allow that. Seeing as our "starters" at safety played all of around 30 minutes the entire season.

Either one of the new safeties are better than Madieu Williams, who is no longer with the team. They dont really need to be all that good to be better than Doughty. Doughty knows where to be, he just needs a taxi to get there in time.

Now, if you have insider information as to whether Tanard, Fred, and Trent had a party for the rookies, and they are all going to be suspended, then thats a whole different ballgame.
